I've long been a fan of Dorothy Parker's stories. After spending most of my Christmas travel time with her, I've been thinking about her excellent he-said, she-said narrative stories (which she claimed were "over, honey, they're over" in this interview) and I can see how she'd also admire Odets, and thought McCullers was "good".
Just good. My word, if I could scratch the surface of her just good.
However, I cannot imagine she'd much like Jennifer Egan, though she's a recent favorite of mine. I especially like her last answer in her interview here. She's on to something.
Here's to 2013, the year of more reading and less stressing.
